D'après un communiqué de l'organisation, des dizaines d'ouvriers qui protestaient contre des licenciements et des réductions de salaires ont été blessés jeudi lorsque les forces de l'ordre ont tenté de démanteler un barrage installé sur la rue principale de la ville située près de Dongguan, dans la province de Guangdong.
